    MRXBOX95B-WH1HMechanical Ventilation Unit with Heat Recovery, Summer Bypass and Integral Humidistat

    Installation and Maintenance

    1.0 Introduction

    MRXBOX95B-WH1H wall mounted unit is designed to providemechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery,summer bypass and integral humidistat.The unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has fullspeed control for background and boost ventilation rates. To recover heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block is utilised. The heat exchanger can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat.

    The bypass damper opens automatically via a wax actuator whenthe outside air reaches 20C, when the outer air temperaturereturns below this level the unit returns to its original state.Outside air supplied through the bypass is still being filtered, so the air quality is optimal, irrespective of the bypass setting(open or closed)

    2.0 InstallationInstallation must be carried out by competent personnel inaccordance with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory governing regulations. All mains wiring must be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations, or theappropriate standards. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating label.

    Please note a clear working space is required around theinstalled unit to allow the cover to be removed and provide sufficient access for maintenance such as filter change.Please allow a minimum of 250mm in front of the unit.

    The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall awayfrom direct sources of frost, heat, water spray or moisturegeneration. For a vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a solid wall.

    The unit is designed for wall mounting only via a patress.1. One part of the mounting bracket should be offered up to

    the wall, ensuring its located horizontally. Mark the fixing points through the pre drilled holes in the bracket and install with screws (by others), ensuring the interlock side is at the top, fig. 2.

    2. Fix the remaining part of the bracket to the unit using the M5 screws ensuring the interlock side is at the bottom, fig.3a.

    3. Install the unit on the wall by ensuring the bracket on the unit interlocks over the wall mounted bracket (fig. 3b).

    Note: Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed truein all 3 dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflowfrom the internal condensation drip tray.

    Installation and Maintenance MRXBOX95B-WH1H Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery & Summer Bypass

    Any air intake terminal MUST be installed in accordance with theappropriate regulation. As a guide, the BS5440 series of British Standards deals withthis issue and currently states that an air intake must be at aminimum distance of 300mm from a gas boiler balanced flue.

    Installers are advised to be aware of the requirements of thisstandard when installing through the wall supply air ducting.

    Similarly, supply and extract air grilles should be at least300mm apart.

    2.1 Condensate Drain1. Remove the front cover from the unit.

    2. Insert the drain connector through the base of the unit from outside. The condensate must be discharged under a water level in a U-trap drainpipe or an alternative drain method which acts as an airlock.

    3. Ensure the drain connector forms a seal with the drain tray applying sealant if necessary. This condensate discharge connection is suitable for 21.5mm dia. overflow pipe. Solvent cement should be used to make the joint.

    4. If using a U-trap please ensure the U-trap has been filled to a suitable level of water to avoid any air locks.

    5. If the condensation pipe is fitted in an unheated space the pipe should be in insulated to prevent freezing.

    Nuaire recommend MVHR-DRAIN be used as the primarycondensate take-off. (see figure 5b/7a/7b).

    2.2 Extract/input areasThe unit is designed to extract air from all wet rooms e.g. bathroom, kitchen, en-suite, utility room (with sink). WCs do not need to be ventilated if openable windows are fitted.

    Supply air should be to all habitable rooms e.g. bedrooms andlounge. Extract / input grilles should be adjustable valve types(not supplied).External grilles to have a minimum free area of 12,250 sq mm.

    2.3 DuctingBefore commencing ducting installation reference should bemade to building regulations document Domestic ventilationcompliance guide. This document supports ADF2010 anddetails installation, testing and commissioning of all ventilationsystems.

    It is recommended that rigid ducting be used it all times. Flexible ducting has a very high resistance and it is impossibleto calculate how much resistance will be on a system if used.

    If used the flexible ducting must be kept to a minimum andshould always be pulled taut. A maximum of 500mm should be used on each leg.

    To prevent condensation on the outside of the outside air inletduct and the air outlet duct from the MRXBOX95B-WH1H,these ducts should be insulated.

    Ducting must be installed in such a way that resistance to airflow is minimised. Bends should be kept to a minimum.

    A minimum distance of 200mm between the appliance and any bends in ductwork is recommended.

    Ideally 125mm diameter or 204 x 60mm rectangular ductingshould be used. (Refer to dwelling design drawing, figure 7aand 7b on page 4 for further information).

    Ducting joints must be sealed with silicone type sealant andshall be adequately and reliably fixed to the appliance.

    2.5 Air permeability and infiltrationIs the uncontrolled exchange of air between inside and outsidethrough cracks, porosity and other unintentional openings inthe building. ADF2006 gives an allowance for this in both multiand single storey buildings, however ADF2010 has anallowance for multi storey only. Additionally ADF2010 onlyapplies this allowance for dwellings leaker than 5 m3/(h.m2) at50Pa. (See below).

    2.6 ADF 2006 Ventilation calculationsContinuous supply and extractStep 1: Determine the whole building ventilation rate from Table2. Allow for infiltration by subtracting from this value:

    for multi-storey dwellings: 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3);

    for single-storey dwellings: 0.06 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3).

    Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling air extract rate at maximum operation by summing the individual room rates forminimum high rate from Table 1.

    (For sanitary accommmodation only, as an alternative, thepurge ventilation provisions given in ADF 2006 can be usedwhere security is not an issue. In this case minimum highextract rate for the sanitary accommodation should be omittedfrom the step 2 calculation).

    Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:

    the maximum extract rate (e.g. boost) should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be at least those given in table 1. for minimum high rate.

    the minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building ventilation rate found in step 1.

    2.7 ADF 2010 Ventilation calculationsDesign of MVHR systemsThe MVHR system has been sized for the winter period.Additional ventilation may be required during the warmermonths and it has been assumed that the provisions for purgeventilation (e.g. openable windows) could be used.

    Step 1: For any design air permeability, determine the wholedwelling ventilation supply rate from Table 2.

    As an alternative where the design air permeability is intendedto be leakier than (>) 5m3/(h.m2) 50 Pa, allow for infiltrationfor all dwelling types by subtracting from the whole dwellingventilation supply rate from Table 2; 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3).

    Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling extract ventilation rate bysumming the individual room rates for minimum high rate fromTable 1.

    (For sanitary accommmodation only, as an alternative, thepurge ventilation provisions given in ADF 2010 can be usedwhere security is not an issue. In this case minimum highextract rate for the sanitary accommodation should be omittedfrom the step 2 calculation).

    Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:

    the maximum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate (e.g. boost) should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be at least those given in table 1. for minimum high rate.

    the minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building ventilation rate found in step 1.

    6.0 Commissioning

    1. For the required air flow rates please refer to the design specification for the property, follow 2.4, or refer to building regulations ADF 2006/2010.

    2. The unit is supplied with independent control for both normal and boost airflows. (see fig. 11).

    3. Correct commissioning is essential to ensure the ventilation air flowrates are met. It also ensures the unit is not over ventilating and causing excessive power consumption.

    4. Commissioning should be carried out in accordance with building regulations document Domestic ventilation compliance guide. A calibrated moving vane anemometer and hood will be required to carry out commissioning.

    5. Adjustment valves should be locked in place to prevent further adjustment.

    6. Once commissioned the home owner / tenant should be informed that the unit should not be adjusted as it will have a detrimental effect on the indoor air quality and could result in condensation and mould growth. The label covering the control has an adhesive panel which should be removed post commissioning to prevent tampering.

    6.1 Summertime boost facilityThe unit has to ability to override both the trickle and boostspeeds to operate the fan to maximum airflow. See wiring diagram for details of operating this facility.

    6.2 Humidity adjustmentThis product contains an internal humidity sensor fitted into theairflow extracting from the wet rooms. When the unit sensesthat the humidity exceeds the set point the unit will boost tothat set by the commissioned boost speed. The set point can be found on the front of the unit (see Fig 11) and is at its leastsensitive when turned fully clockwise. Note that the sensor ismeasuring humidity from all the wet rooms at the same timeand should not be relied on to solely boost the unit. Additionalswitch should be used local to the wet rooms (see wiring diagrams).

    7.0 Maintenance/Cleaning

    We recommend that the two G3 fiters are inspected after 6 months, and replaced every 12 to 18 months.

    The filters can be removed from the unit by removing the twofilter covers on the front panel of the unit. Take hold of the twocircular tabs either end of the filter covers and pull out.

    The filter can now be extracted by pulling the removal loop onthe front edge of the filter. Once the filters have been inspectedreturn or replace them as necessary.

    Introduction This document is to be used in support of the SAP Appendix Q scheme which provides tested performance values for MVHR products. Note that all checklist items must be answered YES in order for the SAP Appendix Q test figures to be used in As built SAP calculations. If any checklist items are answered NO then SAP default figures must be used. Systems must be designed by a manufacturer designer and sized correctly to qualify for SAP Appendix Q figures. SECTION 1: INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

    1. Ductwork Installation Decision Yes, No or

    N/A Have the ducts been installed with as little air resistance and leakages as possible (flexible ducts should be avoided)? Note: Refer to HVCA DW/143 document A Practical Guide to Ductwork Leakage Testing for detailed guidance on air tightness. Rigid plastic ducting is recommended and flexible duct should only be used in very short lengths and mainly just to connect the ductwork to the units/diffusers or to overcome particular obstructions.

    If flexible ducting has been used, has it been pulled taut to minimise system resistance?

    Has the number of duct bends been minimised to ensure adequate air flow and least resistance? Bends should have a minimum radius at least the same as the diameter of the ducting used? Refer to Figure 1 if using flexible ducting

    Have the fans and ducting placed in unheated voids been insulated to reduce the possibility of condensation forming (see notes below)? Note: Ducts should be insulated with the equivalent of at least 25mm of insulating material with a thermal conductivity of 0.04W/mK. Where a duct rises vertically it may be necessary to fit a condensation trap in order to prevent backflow of any moisture in the product. Insulation should be applied to both warm and cold air ducts. Cold air ducts should be wrapped additionally with a vapour barrier outside the insulation. Ducts with cold air running in warm environments will condense on the outside of the duct.

    Have recommended duct jointing collars and components been used to ensure appropriate duct performance (duct runs should be as air tight as possible)? Note: All the joints should be sealed correctly either using duct tape or silicon.

    MRXBOX95B-WM2HMechanical Ventilation Unit with Heat Recovery, Summer Bypass and Integral Humidistat

    Installation and Maintenance

    1.0 Introduction

    MRXBOX95B-WM2H wall mounted unit is designed to providemechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery,summer bypass and integral humidistat.The unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has fullspeed control for background and boost ventilation rates. To recover heat from the extract air the heat exchanger block is utilised. The heat exchanger can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat.

    The bypass damper opens automatically via a wax actuator whenthe outside air reaches 20C, when the outer air temperaturereturns below this level the unit returns to its original state.Outside air supplied through the bypass is still being filtered, so the air quality is optimal, irrespective of the bypass setting(open or closed)

    2.0 InstallationInstallation must be carried out by competent personnel inaccordance with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory governing regulations. All mains wiring must be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations, or theappropriate standards. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating label.

    Please note a clear working space is required around theinstalled unit to allow the cover to be removed and provide sufficient access for maintenance such as filter change.Please allow a minimum of 350mm in front of the unit.

    The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall awayfrom direct sources of frost, heat, water spray or moisturegeneration. For a vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a solid wall.

    The unit is designed for wall mounting only via a patress.1. One part of the mounting bracket should be offered up to

    the wall, ensuring its located horizontally. Mark the fixing points through the pre drilled holes in the bracket and install with screws (by others), ensuring the interlock side is at the top, fig. 2.

    2. Fix the remaining part of the bracket to the unit using the M5 screws ensuring the interlock side is at the bottom, fig.3a.

    3. Install the unit on the wall by ensuring the bracket on the unit interlocks over the wall mounted bracket (fig. 3b).

    Note: Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed truein all 3 dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflowfrom the internal condensation drip tray.

    Installation and Maintenance MRXBOX95B-WM2H Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery & Summer Bypass

    Any air intake terminal MUST be installed in accordance with theappropriate regulation. As a guide, the BS5440 series of British Standards deals withthis issue and currently states that an air intake must be at aminimum distance of 300mm from a gas boiler balanced flue.

    Installers are advised to be aware of the requirements of thisstandard when installing through the wall supply air ducting.

    Similarly, supply and extract air grilles should be at least300mm apart.

    Collar

    2.1 Condensate Drain1. Remove the front cover from the unit.

    2. Insert the drain connector through the base of the unit from outside. The condensate must be discharged under a water level in a U-trap drainpipe or an alternative drain method which acts as an airlock.

    3. Ensure the drain connector forms a seal with the drain tray applying sealant if necessary. This condensate discharge connection is suitable for 21.5mm dia. overflow pipe. Solvent cement should be used to make the joint.

    4. If using a U-trap please ensure the U-trap has been filled to a suitable level of water to avoid any air locks.

    5. If the condensation pipe is fitted in an unheated space the pipe should be in insulated to prevent freezing.

    Nuaire recommend MVHR-DRAIN be used as the primarycondensate take-off. (see figure 5b/7a/7b).

    2.2 Extract/input areasThe unit is designed to extract air from all wet rooms e.g. bathroom, kitchen, en-suite, utility room (with sink). WCs do not need to be ventilated if openable windows are fitted.

    Supply air should be to all habitable rooms e.g. bedrooms andlounge. Extract / input grilles should be adjustable valve types(not supplied).External grilles to have a minimum free area of 12,250 sq mm.

    2.3 DuctingBefore commencing ducting installation reference should bemade to building regulations document Domestic ventilationcompliance guide. This document supports ADF2010 anddetails installation, testing and commissioning of all ventilationsystems.

    It is recommended that rigid ducting be used it all times. Flexible ducting has a very high resistance and it is impossibleto calculate how much resistance will be on a system if used.

    If used the flexible ducting must be kept to a minimum andshould always be pulled taut. A maximum of 500mm should be used on each leg.

    To prevent condensation on the outside of the outside air inletduct and the air outlet duct from the MRXBOX95B-WM2H,these ducts should be insulated.

    Ducting must be installed in such a way that resistance to airflow is minimised. Bends should be kept to a minimum.

    A minimum distance of 200mm between the appliance and any bends in ductwork is recommended.

    Ideally 125mm diameter or 204 x 60mm rectangular ductingshould be used. (Refer to dwelling design drawing, figure 7aand 7b on page 4 for further information).

    Ducting joints must be sealed with silicone type sealant andshall be adequately and reliably fixed to the appliance.

    2.5 Air permeability and infiltrationIs the uncontrolled exchange of air between inside and outsidethrough cracks, porosity and other unintentional openings inthe building. ADF2006 gives an allowance for this in both multiand single storey buildings, however ADF2010 has anallowance for multi storey only. Additionally ADF2010 onlyapplies this allowance for dwellings leaker than 5 m3/(h.m2) at50Pa. (See below).

    2.6 ADF 2006 Ventilation calculationsContinuous supply and extractStep 1: Determine the whole building ventilation rate from Table2. Allow for infiltration by subtracting from this value:

    for multi-storey dwellings: 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3);

    for single-storey dwellings: 0.06 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3).

    Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling air extract rate at maximum operation by summing the individual room rates forminimum high rate from Table 1.

    (For sanitary accommmodation only, as an alternative, thepurge ventilation provisions given in ADF 2006 can be usedwhere security is not an issue. In this case minimum highextract rate for the sanitary accommodation should be omittedfrom the step 2 calculation).

    Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:

    the maximum extract rate (e.g. boost) should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be at least those given in table 1. for minimum high rate.

    the minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building ventilation rate found in step 1.

    2.7 ADF 2010 Ventilation calculationsDesign of MVHR systemsThe MVHR system has been sized for the winter period.Additional ventilation may be required during the warmermonths and it has been assumed that the provisions for purgeventilation (e.g. openable windows) could be used.

    Step 1: For any design air permeability, determine the wholedwelling ventilation supply rate from Table 2.

    As an alternative where the design air permeability is intendedto be leakier than (>) 5m3/(h.m2) 50 Pa, allow for infiltrationfor all dwelling types by subtracting from the whole dwellingventilation supply rate from Table 2; 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3).

    Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling extract ventilation rate bysumming the individual room rates for minimum high rate fromTable 1.

    (For sanitary accommmodation only, as an alternative, thepurge ventilation provisions given in ADF 2010 can be usedwhere security is not an issue. In this case minimum highextract rate for the sanitary accommodation should be omittedfrom the step 2 calculation).

    Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:

    the maximum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate (e.g. boost) should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be at least those given in table 1. for minimum high rate.

    the minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building ventilation rate found in step 1.

    6.0 Commissioning

    1. For the required air flow rates please refer to the design specification for the property, follow 2.4, or refer to building regulations ADF 2006/2010.

    2. The unit is supplied with independent control for both normal and boost airflows. (see fig. 11).

    3. Correct commissioning is essential to ensure the ventilation air flowrates are met. It also ensures the unit is not over ventilating and causing excessive power consumption.

    4. Commissioning should be carried out in accordance with building regulations document Domestic ventilation compliance guide. A calibrated moving vane anemometer and hood will be required to carry out commissioning.

    5. Adjustment valves should be locked in place to prevent further adjustment.

    6. Once commissioned the home owner / tenant should be informed that the unit should not be adjusted as it will have a detrimental effect on the indoor air quality and could result in condensation and mould growth. The label covering the control has an adhesive panel which should be removed post commissioning to prevent tampering.

    6.1 Summertime boost facilityThe unit has to ability to override both the trickle and boostspeeds to operate the fan to maximum airflow. See wiring diagram for details of operating this facility.

    6.2 Humidity adjustmentThis product contains an internal humidity sensor fitted into theairflow extracting from the wet rooms. When the unit sensesthat the humidity exceeds the set point the unit will boost tothat set by the commissioned boost speed. The set point can befound on the front of the unit (see Fig 11) and is at its least sensitive when turned fully clockwise. Note that the sensor ismeasuring humidity from all the wet rooms at the same timeand should not be relied on to solely boost the unit. Additionalswitch should be used local to the wet rooms (see wiring diagrams).

    7.0 Maintenance/Cleaning

    We recommend that the two G3 fiters are inspected after 6 months, and replaced every 12 to 18 months.

    The filters can be removed from the unit by removing the twofilter covers on the front panel of the unit. Take hold of the twocircular tabs either end of the filter covers and pull out.

    The filter can now be extracted by pulling the removal loop onthe front edge of the filter. Once the filters have been inspectedreturn or replace them as necessary.

    Inspect the heat exchanger every 5 years. Generally check for damage and security of components. Refit cover.

    8.0 Replacement of PartsShould any component need replacing Nuaire keep extensivestocks for quick delivery. Ensure that the unit is electrically isolated, before carrying out any work.Note: The supply cable must be replaced by an electrically competent person. When ordering spare parts, please quote the serial number of the unit and the ARC number of the purchase if possible.(This information will be available on the fan label).

    Introduction This document is to be used in support of the SAP Appendix Q scheme which provides tested performance values for MVHR products. Note that all checklist items must be answered YES in order for the SAP Appendix Q test figures to be used in As built SAP calculations. If any checklist items are answered NO then SAP default figures must be used. Systems must be designed by a manufacturer designer and sized correctly to qualify for SAP Appendix Q figures. SECTION 1: INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

    1. Ductwork Installation Decision Yes, No or

    N/A Have the ducts been installed with as little air resistance and leakages as possible (flexible ducts should be avoided)? Note: Refer to HVCA DW/143 document A Practical Guide to Ductwork Leakage Testing for detailed guidance on air tightness. Rigid plastic ducting is recommended and flexible duct should only be used in very short lengths and mainly just to connect the ductwork to the units/diffusers or to overcome particular obstructions.

    If flexible ducting has been used, has it been pulled taut to minimise system resistance?

    Has the number of duct bends been minimised to ensure adequate air flow and least resistance? Bends should have a minimum radius at least the same as the diameter of the ducting used? Refer to Figure 1 if using flexible ducting

    Have the fans and ducting placed in unheated voids been insulated to reduce the possibility of condensation forming (see notes below)? Note: Ducts should be insulated with the equivalent of at least 25mm of insulating material with a thermal conductivity of 0.04W/mK. Where a duct rises vertically it may be necessary to fit a condensation trap in order to prevent backflow of any moisture in the product. Insulation should be applied to both warm and cold air ducts. Cold air ducts should be wrapped additionally with a vapour barrier outside the insulation. Ducts with cold air running in warm environments will condense on the outside of the duct.

    Have recommended duct jointing collars and components been used to ensure appropriate duct performance (duct runs should be as air tight as possible)? Note: All the joints should be sealed correctly either using duct tape or silicon.
